"In fact, women between ages 35 and 50 are the fastest-growing segment, especially on MySpace." Huh, very interesting!

I have to tell you, one of the reasons I'm gravitated to social media is that I like talking to women. I admit it. It's nothing sexual (at least not consciously). I just think they talk better. Notable exceptions on both sides, of course.

Hmm. Got to think about this one...if business week says it's ok to like, you will like, whether male or female.

Women like what marketeers, social designers and evolutionary psychologists tell them to like. So do men. Young girls like sci-fi now, it's ok. Guys don't have to like football. I think the article is a mind seed. A meme. It fits in with other girl-social meme stereotypes so it will stick. you are not your astrology sign until someone tells you what it is. You follow expectations and then convince yourself to stay consistent till that's what you become. It's all social engineering.

Interesting. There are actually quite a few married men over 30 on my Pownce friends list. Different services probably attract different demographics though. My Pownce group skews highly nerdy (in a good way).

I have noticed that many of the folk befriending me on Myspace do fall into the 35-50 female category and a group of friends in that age group from a reality tv forum all joined last year to follow one of the show's contestants...mind you - a few older and (younger!) men are befriending me now too....must be my trendy hairstyle..lol!!
